Not that you’ll need to use that warranty as from my experience Western Digital drives are extremely reliable. One thing to consider is that it has a 3 year warranty which makes it an even better value. It is also available in 3TB, 2TB, and 1TB versions as well if you don’t need that amount of storage or don’t want to spend the cash on a 4TB drive.

At 170.6 x 49 x 139.3mm and 960g it is less than half the size. For a multi-function device My Cloud is also very compact.

Thus it was timely that my local computer store had a sale on the Western Digital My Passport 4TB portable drive as that would more than satisfy my need to back up 3TB of data. I was having some issues with my NAS and I needed an external drive with at least 3TB of space to back up the contents so that I could erase it and set it up from scratch.
